What if the underlying cause of your pain is a tight and unrecognized muscle in your hip that is just waiting for attention? Do you have pain in your back, tailbone, pelvis, hip, knee, or foot that won't go away, no matter what you try? All of these issues can persist because of tightness in the iliacus (sounds like "silly yak kiss"), a muscle in your hip that is part of what is commonly called the "hip flexor." Most people don't even know they have an iliacus, let alone understand how it's affecting their life, causing pain with sitting, exercise, sexual positions, and sleep. The truth is that almost everyone has tightness in this area and this tightness twists the core of the body. As a result of too much sitting, driving, running, biking, kicking, heavy lifting, yoga, dance, gymnastics, or stress, a tight hip could be the missing link to enjoying a pain-free life.

These socks are such a mystery to me but they work! I have seen the brain scans of a Chiropractor colleague of mine and how dramatic these socks have improved brain function. If you have ADHD, Autism, past concussions, neuropathy, neurological conditions, or balance issues, this is for you. There have been quite a few studies about improvement in athletic performance as well. My mom wears them for her diabetic neuropathy, my step-son for autism, my oldest son for his basketball vertical. Good stuff!
